   I saw that.

   Certainly. There is variance on how they do it. For example, on XFCE terminal,   
   you have to select menu "Edit / Copy, or copy as html". Editors make use of   
   this to render the color used in the terminal.

   I already tested and found no bug. I don't see what else you want to find out.   
      
   I can not run his command, anyway:   
      
   cer@Laicolasse:~> wl-paste   
   Failed to connect to a Wayland server   
   cer@Laicolasse:~> wl-paste --help   
   Usage:   
   	wl-paste [options]   
   Paste content from the Wayland clipboard.  <===========   
      
   Options:   
   	-n, --no-newline	Do not append a newline character.   
   	-l, --list-types	Instead of pasting, list the offered types.   
   	-p, --primary		Use the "primary" clipboard.   
   	-w, --watch command	Run a command each time the selection changes.   
   	-t, --type mime/type	Override the inferred MIME type for the content.   
   	-s, --seat seat-name	Pick the seat to work with.   
   	-v, --version		Display version info.   
   	-h, --help		Display this message.   
   Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.   
      
   See wl-clipboard(1) for more details.
